Ironthorn: Nightmares and ancient creatures

Ironthorn – Of The Ancient Rock

Italian rock/metal group Ironthorn have released their first official video taken from their forthcoming album Legends Of The Ancient Rock. The track is called The Call Of Silence and shows the band haven’t lost their touch with a hard edge sound that doesn’t forget to soar musically with catchy, memorable hooks and melodies.

Ironthorn states, «A journey into the depths of the mind, a pure euphemism that contrasts dream and reality, The Call Of Silence, represents in its entirety a sort of spasmodic dualism, in the continuous search for that dimension, which leads us to escape from the bitter truth of a ruined life. This dimension is represented precisely by silence. Silence as a favorable moment or simply as the silence from which the artist draws inspiration, that audible silence in the dream space. In a clear stylization inspired by Lovecraft, made of nightmares and ancient creatures, it highlights the substantial aspect that is reality, imbued with ignorance and contradictions to make fear, dreams and nightmares after all are the fruit of a human mind».

Ironthorn was formed in 2014 in the Province Of Agrigento in Sicily. The band decided to recall, albeit in a modern key, the music of the most famous 80’s/90’s hard rock, heavy metal and thrash metal bands. Thus began a long musical journey that will bring the band in search of that sound and emotions that today represent the music of Ironthorn, sometimes with classic hard rock riffs and heavy sounds accompanied by a scratchy and melodic vocal line while keeping intact the desire to renew and personalize a genre that has made the history of music and lives in the hearts of many. All this without adopting too many mental schemes, leaving space to the emotions and contextualizing everything with a very contemporary language and themes.
